WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth in this Amendment; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to agree to such amendment on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment; 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Amendment, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

I.Defined Terms; Interpretation; Etc. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

II.Amendment to the Credit Agreement. 

(a)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition in the appropriate alphabetical order:
“Secured Appeal Bond Indebtedness” — of any Loan Party at any date, all obligations of such Loan Party, contingent or otherwise, as an account party or applicant under or in respect of one or more appeal bonds or letters of credit issued for the purpose of staying one or more judgments rendered against any Group Member, and which obligations are not secured by a Lien on any property of any Group Member except as expressly permitted by Section 5.05(g).
(b)Section 5.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended:
(i)by deleting and replacing clause (iii) thereof in its entirety as follows:
“(iii) Indebtedness (other than Secured Appeal Bond Indebtedness) to any Person secured by a Lien on any property of such Loan Party if (x) the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness (other than Secured Appeal Bond Indebtedness) secured by a Lien on property of any Loan Party or a Domestic Subsidiary of such Loan Party (including any Indebtedness hereunder assuming for this purpose that Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Total Commitment is then outstanding hereunder) does not exceed, as of the date such Indebtedness is incurred, 15% of the

Borrower’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and (y) the incurrence of such Indebtedness would not reduce the amount of Indebtedness hereunder that may be secured from time to time by Principal Property without giving rise under any Reference Indenture to secure any obligation under such Reference Indenture on an equal and ratable basis,” 
(ii)to delete the word “and” prior to clause (iv); and 
(iii)to add a new clause (v) as follows:
“and (v) Secured Appeal Bond Indebtedness;”

III.Conditions Precedent to the Effectiveness of this Amendment. 

(a)This Amendment shall become effective as of, and with effect from, the date (the “Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent has received duly executed signature pages to this Amendment from the Borrower and Lenders party to the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof representing Majority Lenders.

(b)All corporate and other proceedings required in connection with this Amendment, and all documents, instruments and other legal matters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Lenders, which satisfaction shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery by the Lenders representing Majority Lenders of this Amendment.

(c)Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, on and as of the Effective Date, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date; provided, however, that references therein to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment after giving effect to the amendments set forth herein.

(e)No litigation shall have been commenced against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, either on the date hereof or the Effective Date, seeking to restrain or enjoin (whether temporarily, preliminarily or permanently) the performance of any action by any Loan Party required or contemplated by this Amendment or the Credit Agreement. 

2

IV.No Other Amendments; Confirmation. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Agents, the Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to any future consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the Effective Date, any reference in any Loan Document to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. As of the Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument. Each of the table of contents and lists of Exhibits and Schedules of the Credit Agreement shall be amended to reflect the changes made in this Amendment as of the Effective Date.

VI.Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT, THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

VII.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. 

VIII.Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

IX.Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be given as provided in the Credit Agreement.

X.Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

3

XI.Successors. The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

XII.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

XIII.Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from either thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any of the other agents, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction and agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

                                                                                                                                    Exhibit 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March
24, 2014, is made by and between Associated Materials LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Brian C. Strauss (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to accept
such employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company
hereby employs Executive as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive
accepts such employment, for the Employment Term (as defined in Section 3). During the Employment
Term, Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of AMH Investment Holdings Corp., a Delaware
corporation (“Parent”), performing such duties as shall be reasonably required of a president and chief
executive officer of a corporation of a similar size and nature to the Company, and shall have such other
powers and perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Board of
Directors of Parent (the “Board”). To the extent requested by the Board, Executive shall also serve on
any committees of the Board and/or as a director, officer or employee of Parent or any other entity which
is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent (Parent and each such subsidiary, other than the Company, are
hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Affiliates,” and individually as an “Affiliate”). Executive’s
service as a director of the Company or as a director, officer or employee of any Affiliate shall be without
additional compensation.

2. Performance. Executive will serve the Company faithfully and to the best of his ability
and will devote his full business time, energy, experience and talents to the business of the Company and
the Affiliates; provided, that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to manage his
personal investments and business affairs, or to engage in or serve such civic, community, charitable,
educational, or religious organizations as he may reasonably select so long as such service does not
interfere with Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder.

3. Employment Term. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 6, Executive’s
term of employment hereunder shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable following the date
hereof, but in no event later than June 2, 2014 (the date on which Executive’s employment commences is
hereafter referred to as the “Commencement Date”), and continue through the date which is three (3)
years following the Commencement Date; provided, that beginning on the third anniversary of the
Commencement Date, and on each subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date, such term shall
be automatically extended by an additional one year beyond the end of the then-current term, unless, at
least ninety (90) days before such third anniversary of the Commencement Date, or ninety (90) days
before any such subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date, either party provides written notice
to the other that such party does not desire to extend the term of this Agreement, in which case, the term
of employment hereunder shall terminate as of the third anniversary of the Commencement Date or the
end of the then-current term, as applicable (the term of employment hereunder, including any extensions,
in accordance with this Section 3, shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Term”).

4. Compensation and Benefits.

(a) Salary. As compensation for his services hereunder and in consideration of
Executive’s other agreements hereunder, during the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive
a base salary, payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures, at an

annual rate of $600,000 (the “Base Salary”), subject to annual review by the Board (or its compensation
committee) which may increase, but not decrease, Executive’s Base Salary.

(b) Annual Incentive Bonus. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Executive
shall be entitled to participate in an annual incentive bonus arrangement established by the Company on
terms and conditions substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Any annual incentive bonus to which
Executive is entitled under this Agreement for any fiscal year shall be paid in a cash lump-sum within
thirty (30) days following the close of books of the Company and completion of the Company’s annual
audit by its external accountants for such fiscal year but in any event shall not be paid later than
March 15th of the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year to which the bonus relates.

(c) Signing Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive a signing bonus of $178,100 (the
“Signing Bonus”), on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Commencement Date. If
Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s resignation without Good Reason or by the
Company for Cause prior to January 1, 2015, Executive will promptly repay the Signing Bonus to the
Company.

(d) Relocation. Until Executive relocates to Northern Ohio (which relocation shall
occur no later than December 31, 2016), the Company will pay Executive a monthly stipend of $4,000 to
cover monthly temporary living expenses and will reimburse Executive for airfare and other
transportation expenses incurred in commuting from his residence in Minnesota to the Company’s
headquarters in Northern Ohio. The Company also agrees to provide Executive a relocation package for
Executive and his family’s move to Northern Ohio, in accordance with the Company’s then applicable
relocation policy.

(e) Attorneys’ Fees. The Company shall reimburse to Executive, or pay directly, upon
submission to the Company of a statement for services, the amount payable by Executive to an attorney of
Executive’s choice that Executive has retained to advise Executive with regard to the negotiation and
execution of this Agreement and all related agreements; provided, that (i) the fees charged by such
attorney are computed at such attorney’s standard hourly rates, and (ii) such reimbursement or payment
shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $20,000.

(f) Retirement, Medical, Dental and Other Benefits. During the Employment Term,
Executive shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan documents and all
applicable laws, be eligible to participate in the various retirement, medical, dental and other employee
benefit plans made available by the Company, from time to time, for its executives.

(g) Vacation; Sick Leave. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled
to not less than four (4) weeks of vacation during each calendar year and sick leave in accordance with
the Company’s policies and practices with respect to its executive officers.

(h) Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse or advance payment to
Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with the performance of his
duties hereunder in accordance with policies established by the Company from time to time and subject to
receipt by the Company of appropriate documentation. Executive shall be permitted to fly business class
(or first class if there is no business class) for all business-related air travel.

5. Covenants of Executive. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment
with the Company he will become familiar with the Company and its Affiliates’ (collectively, the
“Company Group”) trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company Group,
and that his services are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company Group. Therefore, the
Company and Executive mutually agree that it is in the interest of both parties for Executive to enter into
the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5 and that such restrictions and covenants are reasonable
given the nature of Executive’s duties and the nature of the Company Group’s business.

(a) Noncompetition. During the Employment Term and for the two (2) year period
following termination of the Employment Term (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, within any
jurisdiction or marketing area in which the Company Group is doing business (or has made specific plans
to do business in the future and as to which Executive was aware of such planning at or prior to the time
Executive’s employment is terminated), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be
employed by or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any
manner with, any Business (as hereinafter defined); provided, that Executive’s ownership of securities of
two percent (2%) or less of any class of securities of a public company shall not, by itself, be considered
to be competition with the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall mean the
manufacturing, production, distribution or sale of vinyl siding, windows, fencing, decking, railings and
garage doors, or any other business of a type and character engaged in by the Company Group during the
Employment Term (including, without limitation, any business in which the Company Group has specific
plans to conduct in the future and as to which Executive was aware of such planning at or prior to the
time Executive’s employment is terminated).

(b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Term and the Restricted Period,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire or employ, solicit for employment or otherwise contract
for the services of any individual who is or was an employee or Consultant of the Company Group;
(ii) otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee or Consultant of the Company to leave the
employ or service of the Company Group, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the
Company Group and any employee or Consultant thereof; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any
customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company Group to cease doing business
with the Company Group, or interfere in any way with the relationship between any such customer,
supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company Group. “Consultant” shall mean an independent
contractor who is an individual and who is engaged by the Company Group in his or her individual
capacity (and not as a service provider to any organization engaged by the Company Group).
    
(c) Nondisclosure; Inventions. For the Employment Term and at all times thereafter,
(i) Executive shall not divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose (except as legally compelled by court order,
and then only to the extent required, after prompt notice to the Board of any such order), directly or
indirectly, other than in the regular and proper course of business of the Company Group, any customer
lists, trade secrets or other confidential knowledge or information with respect to the operations or
finances of the Company Group or with respect to confidential or secret processes, services, techniques,
customers or plans with respect to the Company Group, including, without limitation, any know-how,
research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and
other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products,
services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training,
advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals concerning
the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company Group (all of the foregoing
collectively hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”), and (ii) Executive will not use, directly
or indirectly, any Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than the Company Group;
provided, that Executive has no obligation, express or implied, to refrain from using or disclosing to
others any such knowledge or information which is or hereafter shall become available to the general
public other than through disclosure by Executive. All Confidential Information, new processes,
techniques, know-how, methods, inventions, plans, products, patents and devices developed, made or
invented by Executive, alone or with others, while an employee of the Company which are related to the
business of the Company Group shall be and become the sole property of the Company, unless released in
writing by the Board, and Executive hereby assigns any and all rights therein or thereto to the Company.
    
(d) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and at all times thereafter,
Executive shall not take any action to materially disparage or criticize the Company Group or its
employees, directors, owners or customers or to engage in any other action that injures or hinders the

business relationships of the Company Group. During the Employment Term and at all times thereafter,
the Company shall require that the members of the Board and the executive officers of the Company
Group not take any action to materially disparage or criticize Executive or engage in any other action that
injures or hinders Executive’s reputation or business relationships. Nothing contained in this Section 5(d)
shall preclude either party from enforcing his or its rights under this Agreement or restrict either party
from providing information to any governmental or regulatory agency (or in any way limit the content of
any such information) to the extent such party is requested or required to provide such information
pursuant to applicable law or regulation.
    
(e) Return of Company Property. All Confidential Information, files, records,
correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documents (including, without limitation, those in computer-
readable form) or property relating or belonging to the Company Group, whether prepared by Executive
or otherwise coming into his possession in the course of the performance of his services under this
Agreement, shall be the exclusive property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company, and
not retained by Executive (including, without limitations, any copies thereof), promptly upon request by
the Company and, in any event, promptly upon termination of the Employment Term.

(f) Enforcement. Executive acknowledges that a breach of his covenants contained in
this Section 5 may cause irreparable damage to the Company Group, the exact amount of which would be
difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be
inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if he breaches or threatens to breach any of the covenants
contained in this Section 5, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity,
the Company Group shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent the breach or
any threatened breach.

(g) Scope of Covenants. The Company and Executive further acknowledge that the
time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 5 have been specifically negotiated by
sophisticated commercial parties and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the
circumstances of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the agreements in this
Section 5 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of
their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their
being too extensive in any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum
period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to
which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may
be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

6. Termination. The employment of Executive hereunder shall automatically terminate at
the end of the Employment Term. The employment of Executive hereunder and the Employment Term
may also be terminated at any time by the Company with or without Cause or at any time by Executive
with or without Good Reason. The resignation of Executive without Good Reason shall be by notice of
resignation delivered to the Company not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such
resignation.

(a) “Cause” shall mean: (i) embezzlement, theft or misappropriation by Executive of any
property of the Company Group; (ii) any breach by Executive of Executive’s covenants under Section 5;
(iii) any breach by Executive of any other material provision of this Agreement which breach is not cured,
to the extent susceptible to cure, within thirty (30) days after the Company has given written notice to
Executive describing such breach; (iv) willful failure by Executive to perform the duties of his
employment hereunder which continues for a period of fourteen (14) days following written notice
thereof by the Company to Executive; (v) the conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere (or a similar
plea) to, any criminal offense that is a felony or involves fraud, or any other criminal offense punishable
by imprisonment of at least one year or materially injurious to the business or reputation of the Company
or an Affiliate involving theft, dishonesty, misrepresentation or moral turpitude; (vi) a breach of any

fiduciary duty owed to the Company Group by Executive that has a material detrimental effect on the
Company Group’s reputation or business; or (vii) willful misconduct on the part of Executive in the
performance of his duties as an employee, officer or director of the Company Group that has a material
detrimental effect on the Company Group’s reputation or business. The existence or non-existence of
Cause shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

(b) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, without
Executive’s express written consent: (i) a significant reduction of Executive’s duties, position, or
responsibilities, relative to Executive’s duties, position, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to
such reduction; (ii) a reduction of the Base Salary or of the maximum possible bonus opportunity of
300% of Base Salary; (iii) a material reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits to which
Executive is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that Executive’s overall benefits
package is significantly reduced other than pursuant to a reduction that also is applied to substantially all
other executive officers of the Company; (iv) the relocation of Executive to a facility or location more
than fifty (50) miles from his current intended place of employment (i.e., the Company’s headquarters in
Northern Ohio); or (v) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the employment agreement
by a successor; provided, that any such event described in clauses (i) through (v) above shall not
constitute Good Reason unless Executive delivers to the Company a notice of termination for Good
Reason within ninety (90) days after Executive first learns of the existence of the circumstances giving
rise to Good Reason, and within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice of termination for
Good Reason the Company has failed to cure the circumstances giving rise to Good Reason.

7. Severance for Terminations. Subject to Section 8 and to Executive’s continued
compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 5, if Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated:
(i) during the Employment Term by the Company without Cause (and other than due to disability (as
determined in the good faith discretion of the Board) or death); (ii) due to expiration of the Employment
Term following notice by the Company not to extend the Employment Term in accordance with
Section 3; or (iii) by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive as severance:

(a) an amount equal to two times (2x) Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate in effect
immediately prior to the Termination Date),which amount shall be payable, commencing no earlier than
the sixty-first day following such termination, in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments (other than
the first such installment, which shall include all amounts that would otherwise have been paid to
Executive if payment had commenced immediately following such termination of employment) in
accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures over the 24-month period following the date of
Executive’s termination (such period, the “Severance Period”);

(b) continued medical and dental benefits described in Section 4(f) for the Severance
Period, at the same rate of employee and Company shared costs of such coverage as in effect from time to
time for active employees of the Company. With respect to any such continued medical and dental
benefits for which Executive is eligible: (i) if the Company cannot continue such benefits without adverse
tax consequences to Executive or the Company or for any other reason, the Company shall pay Executive
for the cost of such benefits; (ii) such benefits shall be discontinued in the event Executive becomes
eligible for similar benefits from a successor employer (and Executive’s eligibility for any such benefits
shall be reported by Executive to the Company); and (iii) Executive’s period of “continuation coverage”
for purposes of Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall be
deemed to commence on the date of Executive’s termination of employment; and

(c) a pro rata portion (based on the number of days Executive was employed by the
Company during the calendar year of termination) of any annual incentive bonus otherwise payable in
accordance with Section 4(b) for the year of termination of Executive’s employment, payable no earlier
than the date on which such bonus, if any, would have been paid under the applicable plan or policy of the
Company absent such termination of employment, but no later than March 15th of the fiscal year

immediately following the fiscal year of such termination.

8. Termination of Compensation and Benefits; Execution of Release; Coordination of
Provisions. If Executive’s employment terminates otherwise than in a termination entitling him to
severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 7, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance,
termination pay or similar compensation or benefits, provided, that Executive shall be entitled to any
benefits then due or accrued in accordance with the applicable employee benefit plans of the Company or
applicable law, including “continuation coverage” under the Company’s group health plans for purposes
of Section 4980B of the Code. As a condition of receiving any severance compensation for which
Executive otherwise qualifies under Section 7, Executive agrees to execute within sixty (60) days
following the date of Executive’s termination of employment a general release in favor of the Company in
substantially the form set forth hereto as Exhibit B, such release to be delivered, and to have become fully
irrevocable, on or before the end of such 60-day period. It is expressly agreed and understood that if such
a release has not been executed and delivered and become fully irrevocable by the end of such 60-day
period, no amounts or benefits under Section 7 shall be or become payable (except that any continued
medical, dental or life insurance benefits may be provided during such 60-day period pursuant to
Section 7, as the case may be, but will cease to be provided on the last day of such period). Executive
acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically described in Section 7, all of Executive’s rights to
any compensation, benefits (other than Base Salary earned through the date of termination of employment
and any benefits due or accrued prior to termination of employment in accordance with the applicable
employee benefit plans of the Company or applicable law), bonuses or severance from the Company or
any Affiliate after termination of the Employment Term shall cease upon such termination.

9. Internal Revenue Code Section 280G and 4999 Considerations.
        
(a) Provided that Parent is privately held and Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii)(I) of the Code is
available, if any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) (the
“Payments”), to Executive or for Executive’s benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, Executive’s
employment with the Company Group, or a change in ownership or effective control of Parent or any of
its Affiliates, or of a substantial portion of the assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates, would be subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, to the extent Executive elects to waive the right
to receive such payments or benefits unless shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with Section
280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to its
shareholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments
and to obtain the approval of Parent’s shareholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code
and the regulations thereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 9(a), in the event that (i) Executive is entitled to receive any
Payments, whether payable, distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, that constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code,
and (ii) the net after-tax amount of such Payments, after Executive has paid all taxes due thereon
(including, without limitation, taxes due under Section 4999 of the Code) is less than the net after-tax
amount of all such Payments otherwise due to Executive in the aggregate, if such Payments were reduced
to an amount equal to 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the
Code), then the aggregate amount of such Payments payable to Executive shall be reduced to an amount
that will equal 2.99 times Executive’s base amount. To the extent such aggregate parachute payment
amounts are required to be so reduced, the parachute payment amounts due to Executive (but no non-parachute
payment amounts) shall be reduced in the following order: (i) the parachute payments that are
payable in cash shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero) with amounts that are payable last reduced first;
(ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity, valued at full value (rather than accelerated
value), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and (iii) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clause (ii) of
this Section 8(g)(ii) reduced last.

(c) The determinations to be made with respect to this Section 9 shall be made by a
certified public accounting firm (the “Accountant”) designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to
Executive. Parent shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.

(d) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service or a court ultimately makes a
determination that the excess parachute payments or the base amount is an amount other than as
determined initially, an appropriate adjustment shall be made with regard to Section 9(b) above, if
applicable, to reflect the final determination and the resulting impact.

10. Notice. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given when personally delivered or when mailed, certified or registered mail, or sent

executive officer or director and subject to the terms of any separate written indemnification agreement.

12. General.

(a) GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL
WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY
CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY
JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN

FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN
IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. ANY
ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE EXHIBITS HERETO MUST BE
BROUGHT IN, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF, A COURT
SITUATED IN OHIO. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHTS TO CLAIM THAT ANY
SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF ANY SUCH
ACTION. EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Construction and Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties
undertake to implement all efforts which are necessary, desirable and sufficient to amend, supplement or
substitute all and any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with enforceable and valid
provisions which would produce as nearly as may be possible the result previously intended by the parties
without renegotiation of any material terms and conditions stipulated herein.

(c) Assignability. Executive may not assign his interest in or delegate his duties
under this Agreement. This Agreement is for the employment of Executive, personally, and the services
to be rendered by him under this Agreement must be rendered by him and no other person. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its
successors and assigns. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company may assign this Agreement to, and all rights hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of, any subsidiary of the Company or any person, firm or corporation resulting from
the reorganization of the Company or succeeding to the business or assets of the Company by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise.

(d) Compliance with IRC Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, (i) if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, Executive is a
“specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the deferral of the commencement of
any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is
necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the
Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder
(without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) to the
extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code until the first business day
that is more than six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or
the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code) and (ii) if any other payments of money
or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional
tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will
make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such
payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the
Board, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. In the event that payments under this
Agreement are deferred pursuant to this Section 11(d) in order to prevent any accelerated tax or additional
tax under Section 409A of the Code, then such payments shall be paid at the time specified under this
Section 11(d) without any interest thereon. The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith
regarding the implementation of this Section 11(d); provided, that neither the Company nor any of its
Affiliates, employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect to the
imposition of any early or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, a termination of employment
shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the

payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination
is also a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, for purposes of
any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of
employment” or like terms shall mean “Separation from Service.” For purposes of Section 409A of the
Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the
extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement does not
constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (x) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year
will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to
Executive in any other calendar year, (y) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled
to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the applicable expense is incurred and (z) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind
benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(e) Executive’s Representation. Executive represents that it is his good-faith reasonable
belief that he is not subject to any contract, agreement, judgment, order or decree of any kind, or any
restrictive agreement of any character, that restricts Executive’s ability to perform his obligations under
this Agreement or that would be breached by Executive upon his performance of his duties pursuant to
this Agreement.

(f) Compliance with Rules and Policies. Executive shall perform all services in
accordance with the lawful policies, procedures and rules established by the Company and the Board. In
addition, Executive shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations that are generally applicable to the
Company or its subsidiaries and their respective employees, directors and officers.

(g) Withholding Taxes. All amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to the
withholding of all applicable taxes and deductions required by any applicable law.

(h) Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior agreements
and undertakings, both written and oral, and may not be modified or amended in any way except in
writing by the parties hereto.

(i) Termination On or After Expiration of the Employment Term. Unless the
Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any continuation of Executive’s employment with the
Company and its Affiliates beyond the expiration of the Employment Term shall be deemed an
employment “at will” and shall not be deemed to extend any of the provisions of this Agreement (other
than as provided in Section 11(j) below), and Executive’s employment may thereafter be terminated “at
will” by Executive or the Company.

(j) Survival. The covenants set forth in Section 5 and the parties’ respective rights
and obligations under Section 7 shall survive and shall continue to be binding upon Executive and the
Company, as the case may be, in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding the termination or
expiration of this Agreement or the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever.

(k) Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any of the requirements imposed by
this Agreement on, or any breach of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by, the
other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar requirement, provision or condition of this
Agreement at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any such waiver shall be express and in writing,
and there shall be no waiver by conduct. Pursuit by either party of any available remedy, either in law or
equity, or any action of any kind, does not constitute waiver of any other remedy or action. Such remedies
are cumulative and not exclusive.

(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all
of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

(m) Section References. The words Section and paragraph herein shall refer to
provisions of this Agreement unless expressly indicated otherwise.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, have hereunto
executed this Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

EXHIBIT A

Annual Incentive Bonus

Executive is eligible to receive an annual bonus under the Company’s Senior Executive Incentive
Compensation Program, with a target bonus equal to 100% of Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) and a
maximum bonus of 300% of Base Salary. With respect to each fiscal year commencing with the 2015
fiscal year, the amount of annual bonus payable will be based upon the achievement of both (i) an
Adjusted EBITDA goal (the “EBITDA Bonus”) and (ii) other operating metrics (the “OM Bonus”). The
EBITDA Bonus will constitute at least 50% of the Target Bonus. For the OM Bonus, the applicable
operating metrics for each fiscal year, as well as the bonus ranges for these metrics, will be established by
the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, in consultation with Executive
commencing with fiscal year 2015, within the first ninety (90) days of each such fiscal year. For the 2014
fiscal year, Executive’s bonus will be pro-rated based on the actual number of days Executive is
employed by the Company in 2014.

For purposes of Executive’s annual incentive bonus and the computation thereof:

1.  Base salary shall mean the annual rate of Base Salary in effect under this Agreement as of the last
day of the fiscal year to which the bonus relates.
2.  “Adjusted EBITDA” means the “EBITDA” of the Company for the applicable fiscal year, as such
term is as defined in the Indenture, except that clause (1)(i) of such definition shall not apply for
purposes of this Agreement. “Indenture” means the Indenture dated as of October 13, 2010
among AMH Acquisition Corp., AMH New Finance, Inc. (formerly known as Carey New
Finance, Inc.), Associated Materials, LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other
parties thereto, as amended from time to time.
3.  Adjusted EBITDA targets will be adjusted by the Board (or its compensation committee) in good
faith to reflect each acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Affiliates subsequent
to the Commencement Date of any business, operation, entity (including the acquisition of only a
portion of an entity whose results will be consolidated by the Company in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), division of any entity or any assets outside the ordinary
course of business. If the Company or any Affiliate makes such an acquisition or disposition in a
given fiscal year, the Adjusted EBITDA target for such fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years, if
applicable, shall be proportionately adjusted, fairly and appropriately, and only to the extent
deemed necessary by the Board (or its compensation committee) (after consultation with the
Company’s accountants), in the exercise of its good faith judgment, in order to accurately reflect
the direct and measurable effect such acquisition or disposition has or is reasonably expected to
have on such Adjusted EBITDA target(s). In addition, to the extent applicable, Adjusted
EBITDA target(s) will be adjusted by the Board (or its compensation committee) (after
consultation with the Company’s accountants) in good faith to reflect any changes in generally
accepted accounting principles promulgated by accounting standard setters in order to accurately
reflect the effect of such changes on such Adjusted EBITDA target(s). The intent of such
adjustments is to keep the probability of achieving the Adjusted EBITDA targets the same as if
the event triggering such adjustment had not occurred. The Board’s (or its compensation
committee’s) determination of such necessary adjustment(s) shall be made within 90 days
following the completion or closing of such event, as applicable, and shall be based on the
Company’s accounting as set forth in its books and records and on the Company’s financial plan
pursuant to which the Adjusted EBITDA targets were originally established. Any such
adjustment(s) made in good faith shall be final and binding on all persons.

any D&O insurance policy applicable to Executive and/or the Company’s certificates of incorporation,
charter and by-laws, or (iv) with respect to any claims that cannot legally be waived.

    

3. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been given twenty-one (21) days
from the date of receipt of this Agreement to consider all of the provisions of the Agreement and, to the

HEREIN AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS HEREOF. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE
HAS NOT BEEN FORCED OR PRESSURED IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER TO SIGN THIS
AGREEMENT AND EXECUTIVE AGREES TO ALL OF ITS TERMS VOLUNTARILY.

this Agreement to revoke the release, including with respect to all claims referred to herein (including,
without limitation, any and all claims arising under ADEA). If Executive revokes the Agreement,
Executive will be deemed not to have accepted the terms of this Agreement.
