foregoing clauses (x) and (y) in respect of any L/C Disbursement, collectively, the “L/C Obligation”); provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Account Party of its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to such L/C Obligations. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender either (i) at its address for notices specified herein (or via wire transfer instructions provided by the
Issuing Lender as set forth on Schedule B, as such Schedule may be updated from time to time by the Issuing Lender) in Dollars and in immediately available funds or (ii) so long as after giving effect to the withdrawal the Account Balance
equals or exceeds 103% of the Outstanding Amount, by instructing the Account Party to withdraw from the Collateral Account the Dollar Amount of L/C Disbursement for the period from the date such L/C Disbursement is made until the date of withdrawal.
Until an L/C Obligation shall have been reimbursed in full, interest shall be payable on such unreimbursed L/C Obligation at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. All such interest shall be payable on demand.

 (b) If the Issuing Lender makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Account Party shall
reimburse all L/C Obligations in full on the date reimbursement thereof is required in accordance with paragraph (a) above, the Issuing Lender, without prior notice to the Account Party (with any such prior notice being expressly waived by the
Account Party) shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collateral Account the Dollar amount of the L/C Obligation plus any interest payable on such L/C Disbursement for the period from the date such L/C Disbursement is made until the date of
withdrawal. The Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Account Party promptly after such withdrawal. 
 (c) The responsibility of
the Issuing Lender to the Account Party in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the
documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 3.4. Obligations Absolute. The Account Party’s obligations under Section 3.3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Account Party may have or may have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Account Party also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing
Lender shall not be responsible for, in the absence of its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence (as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), and the Account Party’s L/C Obligations under
Section 3.3 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or
among the Account Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such 

  
 11 

 
Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Account Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable
for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final, non-appealable decision of
a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. 
 SECTION 3.5. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of
this Section 3 shall apply. 
 SECTION 3.6. Records. The Issuing Lender shall maintain records evidencing the
Stated Amount of each unexpired Letter of Credit issued, amended, extended or renewed by the Issuing Lender outstanding hereunder and evidencing for each Letter of Credit issued or renewed hereunder: 

(a) the dates of issuance, amendment, extension or renewal and expiration thereof; 

(b) the Stated Amount thereof; and 

(c) the date and amount of all payments and drawings made thereunder. 

The Issuing Lender shall make copies of such records available to the Account Party upon its reasonable request. 

SECTION 3.7. No Liability. The Account Party agrees that , except as expressly set forth in Section 3.3(c), neither
Issuing Lender nor any of its respective Related Persons will assume liability for, or be responsible for: 
 (a)
the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit; 
 (b) any acts or omissions of the beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit, including the application of any payment made to such beneficiary; 
 (c) the validity, correctness,
genuineness or legal effect of any document or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, even if such document or instrument should in fact prove to be in any respect invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; 

(d) payment by the Issuing lender of any draft which does not comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit, unless such
payment results from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing lender 
 (e) the
failure of any document or instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit; 
 (f)
any failure to note the amount of any draft on any Letter of Credit or on any related document or instrument, except to the extent such failure results from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender ; 

(g) any failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to meet the obligations of such beneficiary to either the
Account Party or any other Person; or 

  
 12 

 (h) any failure by the Issuing Lender to make payment under any Letter of
Credit as a result of any Requirement of Law, control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised or imposed by any Governmental Authority. 
 SECTION 3.8. Reserve Requirements: Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law, rule,
regulation or treaty or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) (a “Change in Law”) shall
(i) result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by the Issuing Lender (ii) subject any Issuing
Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 3.10 and the imposition of any
Excluded Tax payable by such Issuing Lender), or (iii) result in the imposition on the Issuing Lender of any other condition affecting this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Commitment or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of reimbursement, interest or otherwise)
by an amount reasonably determined by the Issuing Lender to be material, then such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender for such additional costs or reduction shall be paid by the Account Party to the Issuing Lender
upon demand. “Change in Law” shall include all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial
regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. 

(b) If the Issuing Lender determines that the adoption after the date hereof of any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, or any
change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Issuing Lender (or any lending office of the Issuing Lender) or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit to
a level below that which the Issuing Lender or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or other Change in Law (taking into consideration the Issuing Lender’s policies and the
policies of the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably determined by the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing
Lender for such reduction will be paid by the Account Party to the Issuing Lender upon demand. 
 (c) A certificate of the
Issuing Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the
Account Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Account Party shall pay the Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by the Issuing Lender within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Failure on the part of the Issuing Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or
receivable or reduction in return on capital with 

  
 13 

 
respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the Issuing Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided, however,
that the Issuing Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.8 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless the Issuing Lender shall have notified the Account Party in writing that it will
demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above and such notice shall have been provided not more than 90 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such
costs or reductions. 
 (e) Fees. The Account Party will pay an issuing fee to the Issuing Lender equal to
0.125% per annum of the average daily Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit (including each Existing Letter of Credit) issued or extended pursuant to this Agreement, which shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date
after the issuance date. In addition, customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges shall be payable to the Issuing Lender. All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds to the Issuing
Lender. Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 3.9. Applicability of
ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Account Party, when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking
Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 3.10. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Account Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, that, if any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) shall be
required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Account Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) each Issuing Lender or other recipient of such payment, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the
Account Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Account Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Account Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Account Party shall indemnify each Issuing Lender, within
10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by or on account of any obligation of the Account Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Issuing Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Account Party by the Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Account Party to a Governmental
Authority, the Account Party shall deliver to the Issuing Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such 

  
 14 

 
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender. 

(e) Any Foreign Issuing Lender or other recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax or backup
withholding with respect to payments under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Account Party, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably
requested by the Account Party as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding or backup withholding. In addition, any Foreign Issuing Lender or other recipient, if reasonably requested by the Account Party, shall
deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Account Party as will enable the Account Party to determine whether or not such Issuing Lender or other recipient is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Issuing Lender or other recipient shall deliver to the Account Party (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Account Party) on or prior
to the date on which such Foreign Issuing Lender or other recipient becomes an Issuing Lender or other recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously
delivered form or information or upon the request of the Account Party, but in each case only if such Foreign Issuing Lender or other recipient is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States of America is a party and such W-8BEN shall establish (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of
such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, 

(iii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8EXP, 

(iv) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, together with any required attachments, 

(v) in the case of a Foreign Issuing Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section
871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Issuing Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Account Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, 

(vi) to the extent an Issuing Lender or other recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership 

  
 15 

 
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner, or 
 (vii) any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation or information necessary to permit the Account Party to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (f) Any Issuing Lender that is not a Foreign Issuing Lender shall
deliver to the Account Party (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter promptly upon the
expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered form or information or upon the request of the Account Party, but in each case only if such Issuing Lender is legally entitled to do so) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 or
other forms or information establishing an exemption from U.S. backup withholding. 
 (g) If a payment made to an Issuing Lender
or other recipient under any Credit Document hereunder may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA, such Issuing Lender or other recipient shall deliver to the Account Party, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by Account Party, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Account Party to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Issuing
Lender or other recipient has complied with such Issuing Lender’s or other recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.10(g), the term
“FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof. 
 (h) If an Issuing Lender determines, in its
sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Account Party or with respect to which the Account Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.10, it shall pay to the Account Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Account Party under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Issuing Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the
Account Party, upon the request of such Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Account Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Issuing Lender in the event such
Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Issuing Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Account Party or any other Person.

 Section 1. Establishment of Collateral Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (a) Description of Account. The Financial Institution has established a deposit account in the name of “Dynegy - Credit Suisse Cash Collateral Account”, with account number (such

interests of the Secured Party in the Collateral Account and the funds therein or credited thereto. The Financial Institution agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against the Collateral Account or to assert

funds therein; provided, however, that (i) the Financial Institution may set off all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the
Collateral Account, including overdraft fees, and the face amount of any checks or other items which have been credited to the Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid and (ii) if any advance of funds is made by Financial
Institution to 

  
 2 

 
purchase, or to make payment on or against delivery of, any investment property to be held in the Collateral Account, Financial Institution shall have a continuing security interest in and right

jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the Financial Institution in respect of the Collateral Account and (iii) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of
Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) of the Financial Institution in respect of the Collateral Account,. This Control Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. The Collateral Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York. The Obligor, Secured Party and the Financial Institution each hereby consents, in connection with any dispute arising hereunder, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in the Borough of Manhattan, New
York City, in the State of New York and appellate courts from any thereof and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same. The Secured Party, the Obligor and the Financial Institution each hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Control Agreement.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) is made and entered as of August 5, 2011, to be effective as of the “Commencement Date” (as defined below), between Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the
“Company”), and Joseph F. Puishys (the “Executive”), a resident of Minnesota. 
 RECITALS

 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to employ the Executive as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the
Executive desires to accept and to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the
Executive understand that such employment is expressly conditioned on execution of this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Company desires to employ the Executive as Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company in that capacity, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive’s employment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants set forth below, and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I: EMPLOYMENT, TERM AND DUTIES 
 1.1 Employment. The Company hereby employs the Executive as Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for the Company, for the
period and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Effective as of the “Commencement Date” (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) hereby elects
the Executive as a member of the Board, to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders. 
 1.2
Term. The Executive’s employment with the Company shall commence on August 22, 2011 (the “Commencement Date”), and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of Article III hereof, shall be for a
period of three (3) years, extending through August 22, 2014 (such employment period being referred to herein as the “Term”). 
 1.3 Position and Duties. 
  

	 	1.3.1	Service with the Company. The Executive agrees to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer with such authority, power, responsibilities and
duties (a) as are set forth for that position in the By-laws of the Company; (b) as the Board shall assign to the Executive from time to time; and (c) that the Executive undertakes or accepts consistent 

  
 APOG CEO
Emp. Agmt 
 Execution Copy 

	 	
with his position as Chief Executive Officer. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, from time to time, he will be required to perform duties with respect to one or more of the
Company’s “Affiliates,” and that he will not be entitled to any additional compensation for performing those duties. The Executive shall report directly to the Board. As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means a
company which is directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controlled by or under common control with another company, where “control” shall mean the right, either directly or indirectly, to elect the majority of the
directors (general partners, managers or equivalent) thereof without the consent or acquiescence of any third party. 

 The Executive also agrees to serve, for any period for which the Executive is elected, as a member of the Board or as a director or officer of any Affiliate; provided, however, that the Executive
shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for serving in any of such capacities. 
 Upon termination of
Executive’s employment, for whatever reason, Executive agrees to resign immediately from the Board and from all Affiliate boards of directors on which he is then currently serving. 

 

	 	1.3.2	Performance of Duties. During the Term, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive’s ability and to devote
the Executive’s full business time, attention and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company (exclusive of any period of vacation, sick, disability, or other leave to which the Executive is entitled). 

The Executive hereby confirms that, during the Term, the Executive will not render or perform services for any other corporation, firm,
entity or person that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage. 
 The rest of this Section 1.3.2 notwithstanding, the Executive may (a) serve on the board of one for-profit and other non-profit corporations (subject to the Executive having obtained the prior
approval of the Chair of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to serve on such a board in accordance with all of the Company’s policies, including, without limitation, the Company’s policy regarding conflicts of
interest); (b) participate in industry organizations; (c) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements; and (d) manage personal investments, so long as the activities referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above do not
materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the Executive agrees to resign from any and all boards of for-profit or
non-profit corporations, as and when requested to do so by the 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 2 

 
Board at any time during the Term if, in its good faith judgment, the Board determines that such service (or continued service) by the Executive is not in the best interests of the Company.

 The Executive will perform all of the Executive’s responsibilities in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws and with all of the applicable policies generally in effect for employees of the Company or any applicable policies of the Company Affiliate for which the Executive performs services, including without limitation, the Company’s
Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and related policies, as the same may be amended from time to time. 
  

	 	1.3.3	No Conflicting Obligations. The Executive represents that: (a) his acceptance of employment under the terms of this Agreement and his performance of
the duties specified above will not conflict with any contractual or other obligations which he may owe to any former employers or other third parties, and (b) his performance of these duties will not require the disclosure of confidential
information acquired by the Executive in confidence or in trust prior to Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive agrees to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities or claims arising out of any
unauthorized act or acts by the Executive that are in violation of or constitute a breach of any such obligations. Executive agrees that he will not, hereafter, enter into any agreement, whether written or oral, which conflicts with his obligations
under this Agreement. 

 ARTICLE II. COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES 

2.1 Base Salary. As his initial base compensation for all services he renders under this Agreement, the Executive shall
receive an annualized base salary (“Annual Base Salary”) of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00), starting on the Commencement Date. The Annual Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
procedures and policies, as such procedures and policies may be modified from time to time. The Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed and adjusted in the sole discretion of the Board’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) according
to a schedule and in a manner consistent with the Company’s practices for salary adjustment for senior executives, which practices may be revised from time to time; provided, however, that, without the Executive’s consent, the Annual Base
Salary may be reduced no more than 10% in connection with an across-the-board salary reduction by the Company similarly affecting all senior executives of the Company. 
 2.2 Incentive Compensation. While the Executive holds the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Management Incentive Plan
(the “EMIP”) remains in effect, the Committee shall designate the Executive as a participant in the EMIP, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, including any goals the Committee establishes to govern the EMIP
for any 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.

 Execution Copy

fiscal year. For the 2013 fiscal year (commencing in March 2012), Executive’s target incentive bonus under the EMIP shall be an amount equal to 100% of the Annual Base Salary actually paid
to the Executive for that fiscal year. 
 2.3 Signing Bonus. In connection with Executive’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement and commencement of employment with the Company, and to replace forfeited compensation earned at his previous employer, the Board has (i) granted to Executive, effective as of the Commencement Date and pursuant to the
terms of award agreements (to be entered into by the Company and the Executive), the equity awards set forth on Exhibit A hereto and (ii) agreed to pay to the Executive a cash bonus, as further set forth on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the
“Signing Bonus”). 
 2.4 Benefit Plans: During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the employee health and welfare and pension benefits programs offered generally by the Company to its executive employees, to the extent that the Executive’s position, tenure, salary, health, and other qualifications make the
Executive eligible to participate. Such plans currently include, without limitation, the Company’s medical, dental and disability plans, and its executive deferred incentive compensation plan and 401(k) retirement plan, and reimbursement of
financial and estate planning fees of up to $2,000 annually. The Executive’s participation in such benefits shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plans, as the same may be amended from time to time. The Company does not guarantee the
adoption or continuance of any particular employee benefit or benefit plan during the Term, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall in any way restrict the right of the Company, to amend, modify or terminate any of its benefits or
benefit plans during the Term. 
 2.5 Fiscal 2013 Restricted Stock Award. The Executive will be eligible to
receive an award of time-based restricted stock, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Stock Plan”) and the Company’s standard form of time-based restricted stock award
agreement, when the Committee meets in March or April of 2012 with respect to the 2013 fiscal year annual awards. The specific amount of restricted shares to be awarded will be based upon the achievement by the Executive of certain mutually agreed
business objectives for the fiscal 2012 year. The target value of such award shall be $400,000, to be determined as of the date of grant, using the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on such date. The actual award may be
more, but not less, than the target, depending on achievement of the business objectives. The actual award to be made shall be in the range of 100% to 160% of the target award, and all such awarded shares shall vest in three equal, annual
installments, with the first vesting to occur on the first anniversary of the date of grant. 
 2.6 Fiscal 2013
Performance Share Unit Award. The Executive will be eligible to receive an award of performance share units (“PSUs”), in accordance with the terms of the 2009 Stock Plan and the Company’s standard form of performance
share unit award agreement, when the Committee meets in March or April of 2012 with respect to the 2013-2015 fiscal year performance cycle. The target value of this PSU award shall have a value of $600,000, measured as of the date of grant. The
actual award may be more or less than the target, depending on achievement, over the full three-year period, of the business objectives determined 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy

by the Committee at the time of grant. The actual award to be made shall be in the range of 0% to 200% of the target award, and the shares of Common Stock that are issued at the end of the
three-year performance period are immediately vested. Dividends with respect to the shares underlying the PSUs will accrue during the three-year performance period and will be paid only on shares earned as of the end of the performance period.

 2.7 Additional Equity Grants. The Executive will be eligible for consideration for additional grants of equity
in the Company beginning with the fiscal year 2013 Company equity grant cycle (as set forth in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 above), and in conformity with the practices and procedures of the Committee as in effect at such time. During the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to participate in the equity plans offered generally by the Company to its executive employees, to the extent that the Executive’s position, tenure, salary and other qualifications make the Executive eligible to
participate. In addition to the Stock Plan, such plans include the employee stock purchase plan of the Company. 
 2.8
Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Company’s stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers, as such guidelines may be amended from time to time. For the
Chief Executive Officer, those guidelines encourage stock ownership, within five years of becoming such officer, of an amount of stock equal in value to five times the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary. Stock ownership calculation shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock ownership guidelines. 
 2.9 Expenses. During
the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses he incurs in carrying out his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company for submission of expense reports,
receipts, or similar documentation of such expenses as in effect from time to time by the Company. 
 2.10
Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to take up to 20 days of paid vacation per calendar year, subject to ensuring that the business and affairs of the Company shall be continued in normal fashion during his absence. Any
unused vacation shall not be carried over into successive years and shall not have any cash value to the Executive. 
 ARTICLE III:
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
 3.1 Termination. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be
terminated during the Term as described in this Article III. 
 3.1.1 Death or Disability. The Executive’s
employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate in the event the Executive becomes “Totally Disabled.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Totally

 provided, however that: 
  

	 	(i)	a termination pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) shall not become effective unless the Company has delivered written notice to the Executive describing

	 	(ii)	a termination pursuant to clauses (a) or (e) above, if susceptible of cure, shall not become effective unless the Executive fails to cure such failure to
perform or breach within forty-five (45) days after written notice from the Company identifying what reasonable actions shall be required to cure such failure to perform. 

3.1.3 Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s

action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of written notice thereof given by the Executive, but including any diminution attributable to the fact that the Company is no longer a public company;

  

	 	(b)	any material reduction in the Executive’s aggregate compensation and incentive opportunities (other than a reduction that applies generally to all senior executive
officers of the Company); 

  

	 	(c)	the failure by the Board to nominate the Executive as a candidate to serve as a member of the Board; 

 

	 	(d)	a requirement to relocate his principal residence to a location other than the Twin Cities metropolitan region; or

The Executive shall have Good Reason to terminate his employment if (i) within forty-five (45) days following the
Executive’s actual knowledge of the event which the Executive determines constitutes Good Reason, he notifies the Company in writing that he has determined a Good Reason exists and specifies the event creating Good Reason, (ii) following
receipt of such notice, the Company fails to remedy such event within forty-five (45) days, and (iii) the Executive terminates his employment within thirty (30) days after the end of such cure period. If any of the conditions is not

Confidential Information of the Company or any Company Affiliate which in any of these cases are in the Executive’s possession or under the Executive’s control. This includes all copies or specimens in the Executive’s possession,
whether prepared or made by others or the Executive. Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall also refrain from accessing the Company’s files via computer or modem. The Executive shall acknowledge in writing
the return of all such materials, when requested to do so by the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall
be entitled to retain one copy of this Agreement, any stock option, restricted stock, PSU or other plan or agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Executive retains any rights at the Termination Date, and documentation provided to the

any unvested benefits or any other compensation or payments coming due after the Termination Date. 
 3.2.2 Termination by
the Company for Cause or by the Executive Without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Executive voluntarily terminates employment without Good Reason, the Company shall pay to the
Executive (a) any Annual Base Salary earned but not paid through the Termination Date, plus (b) the amount of any other benefits to which the Executive is legally entitled as of the Termination Date under the terms and conditions of any
benefit plans of the Company in which the Executive is participating as of the Termination Date. The Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.

thereon have vested as of the Termination Date; and 

  

	 	(g)	any other unpaid amounts to which the Executive is entitled as of the Termination Date pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, including, without limitation, amounts
that the Executive is entitled to under any benefit plan of the Company in accordance with the terms of such plan. 

 3.2.4 Statutory Compensation at Employment Termination. In addition to the foregoing compensation payable at employment termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the
following, but only to the extent then-mandated by Minnesota law at the Termination Date: 
  

	 	(a)	A lump sum payment equal to the Executive’s earned but unused vacation accrued under Apogee’s regular vacation policy through the Termination Date; and

  

	 	(b)	The Executive shall have the right to continue, at the Executive’s expense, to participate in Apogee’s group life insurance program for the legally required
period following the Termination Date. 

 3.2.5 No Other Compensation or Continuing Benefits.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that, after the Termination Date, the Executive shall not continue to participate in any benefit or retirement plans of the Company, except with respect to balances of deferred accounts,
if any, existing in any such plan as of the Retirement Date. 
 Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 3.2, the Company
shall have no further obligations to pay any compensation of any kind to the Executive after his Termination Date under this Agreement. 
 3.3 No Other Benefits. If the Executive receives the payments and benefits described in this Article III, the Executive will not be eligible to receive from the Company or any Affiliate any
other severance or termination payments or benefits of any kind, including but not limited to those provided in Article II of this Agreement. Furthermore, this Agreement is not 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 10 

 
intended to provide the Executive with payments or benefits that are duplicative or overlap payments or benefits that will be paid or provided to the Executive under other agreements between the
Executive and the Company or its Affiliates. Accordingly, except as provided herein, the Executive acknowledges that this Agreement shall supersede and replace in their entirety any and all other policies and/or agreements to which the Executive and
the Company or any of its Affiliates are a party that provide severance or continuation of income payments to the Executive or the Executive’s family following the Termination Date, except the Change in Control Severance Agreement dated
as of the date hereof (the “CIC Severance Agreement”). This Agreement will be superseded and replaced in its entirety by the CIC Severance Agreement on the “Effective Date” (as defined therein) or upon the termination,
prior to the Effective Date, of the Executive’s employment by (i) the Company without Cause or (ii) the Executive for Good Reason, where the effect of such termination is to entitle the Executive to receive the benefits described in
Sections 4 and 5 of the CIC Severance Agreement as a result of the occurrence of event or circumstances described in Section 2(b)(iii) of the CIC Severance Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IV: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
 4.1 Nondisclosure. At
all times during the Executive’s employment and after the Termination Date, the Executive will hold in the strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Confidential Information, except as
such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with the Executive’s work for the Company, or unless the Company expressly authorizes such disclosure in writing. The Executive will obtain the Company’s written approval
before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal or otherwise) that relates to the Executive’s work at the Company and/or incorporates any Confidential Information. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company any
and all rights, title and interest the Executive may have or acquire in the Confidential Information and recognizes that all of the Confidential Information is and shall be the sole property of the Company and its successors and assigns. 

As used herein, “Confidential Information” means information that was developed, created, or discovered by or on behalf of the Company
or any of its Affiliates, or which became or will become known by, or was or is conveyed to the Company, which has commercial value in the Company’s business. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, customer
and mailing lists, cost and pricing information, employee data, financial data, business plans, sales and marketing plans, business acquisition or divestiture plans, research and development activities relating to existing commercial activities and
new products, services and offerings under active consideration, software programs, and trade secrets which the Executive may have acquired during the course of his employment with the Company or its Affiliates or which is received in confidence by
or for the Company from any other person. The foregoing obligation shall not apply to (i) any information which was known to the Executive prior to disclosure to him by the Company or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any information which was
in the public domain prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (iii) any information which comes into the public domain through no fault of the Executive; (iv) any information which the Executive is required to disclose by a court or
similar authority or under subpoena, provided that the Executive provides the Company with notice thereof and assists, at the Company’s or its Affiliates sole expense, any 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 11 

 
reasonable endeavor of the Company or any of its Affiliates by appropriate means to obtain a protective order limiting the disclosure of such information; and (v) any information which is
disclosed to the Executive by a third party which has a legal right to make such disclosure. 
 ARTICLE V: NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION
NON-HIRE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT 
 5.1 Non-Competition Covenant. In consideration of the financial and other
benefits described in this Agreement, the Executive agrees that, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the date that is two (2) years after the Termination Date (without regard for the reason for such termination
and whether such termination is occasioned by the Company or the Executive), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, and in any manner or capacity (e.g., as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, investor,
shareholder, employee, member of any association or otherwise), engage in any business activities that are competitive with any of the businesses conducted, or planned to be conducted, by the Company or any Company Affiliate during the one-year
period ending on the Termination Date. 
 5.2 Geographical Extent of Covenant. The Executive acknowledges that the
Company directly, or indirectly through the Company Affiliates, currently is engaged in business throughout North America and South America, including each county, state and province thereof. Consequently, the Executive agrees that his obligations
under this Article V shall apply in any market in North America or South America in which: (a) the Company or, as applicable, a Company Affiliate(s), operates during the one-year period described in the last two lines of Section 5.1; and
(b) the Company or, as applicable, a Company Affiliate(s), has plans to enter on the date the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company. 
 5.3 Limitation on Covenant. Ownership by the Executive, as a passive investment, of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation listed on a
national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Article V. 

5.4 Non-Solicitation And Non-Hire. The Executive agrees that, for a period of two (2) years after the
Termination Date, without regard for the reason for such termination (and whether occasioned by the Company or the Executive), the Executive shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company: (a) hire or attempt to hire for
employment any person who is employed by the Company or a Company Affiliate, or attempt to influence any such person to terminate employment with the Company or any Company Affiliate; (b) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company
or any Company Affiliate to work for, render services to, provide advice to, or supply confidential business information or trade secrets of the Company or any Company Affiliate to any third person, firm or corporation; or (c) induce or attempt
to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company or any Company Affiliate to cease or reduce doing business with the Company or such Company Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between any such customer, 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 12 

 
supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation and the Company or any Company Affiliate. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from general advertising for personnel not
specifically targeting any employee or other personnel of the Company, or from hiring any such employee or other personnel responding to such general advertising. 
 The foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to: (i) any former employee of the Company whose employment terminated prior to the Commencement Date, or (ii) any employee of the Company
whose employment is terminated after the Commencement Date and prior to the Termination Date, so long as at least six (6) months have passed between the Termination Date and the date of any action by the Executive set forth in the first
sentence of this Section 5.4. 
 5.5 Non-Disparagement. During and after the Term: 

(a) the Executive agrees not to make any remarks (whether in public or private) knowingly or intentionally disparaging the Company or any
Company Affiliate, or their respective products, services, officers, director or employees, whether past or current, including any present, former or future director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any Company Affiliate. The provisions
of this Section 5.5(a) shall not apply to any truthful statement(s) required to be made by the Executive or by any representative of the Executive in any legal proceeding or governmental (including all agencies thereof) or regulatory filing,
investigation or proceeding; and 
 (b) the Company agrees that none of its Senior Representatives (as defined below) will make
any remarks (whether in public or private) knowingly or intentionally disparaging the Executive. The provisions of this Section 5.5(b) shall not apply to any truthful statement(s) required to be made by the Company or by any representative of
the Company in any legal proceeding or governmental (including all agencies thereof) or regulatory filing, investigation or proceeding. For purposes of this Section 5.5(b), the term “Senior Representatives” shall mean each of
the Company’s directors and its Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Vice President Human Resources, and Vice President and Treasurer. 
 ARTICLE VI: DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS 
 6.1 Dispute Defined.
The Company and the Executive desire to establish a reasonable and confidential means of resolving any dispute, question or interpretation arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement or the alleged breach or threatened breach of it,
(ii) the making of this Agreement, including claims of fraud in the inducement, (iii) the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including claims of wrongful termination or discrimination, or (iv) any
activities by the Executive restricted by Articles IV and V of this Agreement following the cessation of his employment with the Company (each such dispute to be referred to herein as a “Dispute”). 

6.2 Procedure. In furtherance of the parties’ mutual desire, the Company and the Executive agree that if either party
believes a Dispute exists, that party shall provide the other with written notice of the claimed Dispute. Upon receipt of that written notice, the following 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 13 

 
procedure shall be the exclusive means of fully and finally resolving the Dispute. First, within thirty (30) days of the other party receiving that notice, the Executive and appropriate
representatives of the Company and/or Board will meet to attempt to resolve amicably the Dispute. Second, if a mutually agreeable resolution is not reached within thirty (30) days following the parties’ first meeting, the parties will
engage in mediation with a mutually agreeable neutral mediator, said mediation to be held within forty-five (45) days of the final meeting between the Executive and representatives of the Company and/or Board. The Company shall pay the fees and
expenses of the mediator. Third, if the Dispute is not resolved through mediation within thirty (30) days, the Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect, unless such rules are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. In connection with such arbitration:

  

	 	(a)	Any such arbitration shall be conducted: (i) by a neutral arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the parties; or (ii) failing such agreement, by a
neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with said AAA rules; 

  

	 	(b)	The parties shall be permitted reasonable discovery in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure, including the production of relevant
documents by the other party, the exchange of witness lists, and a limited number of depositions, including depositions of any expert who will testify at the arbitration; 

 

	 	(c)	The arbitrator’s award shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law showing the legal and factual basis for the arbitrator’s decision, which decision
shall be final and binding upon the parties; 

  

	 	(d)	The arbitrator shall have the authority to award to the prevailing party any remedy or relief that a United States District Court or court of the State of Minnesota
could order or grant if the dispute had first been brought in that judicial forum, including costs and attorneys’ fees; 

  

	 	(e)	The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction; and 

 

	 	(f)	Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the place of any arbitration proceeding shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

6.3 Confidentiality of Dispute Resolution. Except as the parties shall agree in writing, upon court order, or as required
by law, neither the Company nor the Executive will disclose to any third party, except for their counsel, retained experts and other persons directly serving counsel or retained experts, any fact or information in any way pertaining to the process
of resolving a Dispute under this Article VI, or to the fact of or any term that is part of a 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy 
 14 

 
resolution or settlement of any Dispute. This prohibition on disclosure specifically includes, without limitation, any disclosure of an oral statement or of a written document made or provided by
either the Executive or the Company, or by any of its or his representatives, counsel or retained experts, or other persons directly serving any representatives, counsel or retained experts. 

6.4 Right to Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by him hereunder are
of a special, unique and extraordinary character, that it would be difficult to replace such services and that any violation of the Executive’s obligations under either Article IV or Article V would be highly injurious to the Company and/or to
any Company Affiliate and that it would be extremely difficult to compensate the Company and/or any Company Affiliate fully for damages for any such violation. Accordingly, notwithstanding the terms of this Article VI, the Company or any Company
Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek, without the necessity of posting bond or proving any monetary damages and without any requirement to engage in any dispute resolution process outlined in this Article VI, temporary and
permanent injunctive relief from a court of law, in the event of violation by the Executive of any of his obligations under any provision of either Article IV or Article V. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however,
diminish the right of the Company, any Company Affiliate or the Executive to claim and recover damages, or to seek and obtain any other relief available to it pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI. 

ARTICLE VII: ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS. 
 7.1 Assignment. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. 
 7.2
Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, provided that the Company may not assign this Agreement except in connection with the assignment or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, or by law as a result of a merger or consolidation.

writing in accordance with this paragraph. Notices and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee or three (3) days after the initiation of delivery; provided that this period will not extend any period of
notice specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
 Any party may change the address for the purpose of this Section by giving
the other written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above. 
 8.2 Enforceability. The parties
intend that each of the covenants referenced in Section 5 hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state of the United States, one for each county of each state of the United States, one for each province of
Canada and one for each state of Mexico. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement as to such jurisdiction
only, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Executive and the Company expressly agree that should the duration
of, geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law in a given jurisdiction, then such provision, as to such jurisdiction only, shall
be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered. The unenforceability of any covenant in Section 5 hereof shall not preclude the enforcement of any other of said covenants or provisions
or of any other obligation of the Executive hereunder, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Company against the Executive, whether predicated on the Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the
Company of any of said covenants. The Company and the Executive acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this area with respect to Section 5 hereof, and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its
provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

 8.3 Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company
shall withhold from any amount payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations, or that are consistent with the Company’s prevailing practice.

 8.4 Governing Law, Construction, and Severability. The validity, interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not in any way affect the
legality or validity of any other provision of this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Company be given the broadest possible protection respecting its Confidential Information and trade secrets and respecting competition
by the Executive following the Executive’s separation from the Company. 
 8.5 Venue. Any action at
law, suit in equity or judicial proceeding arising directly, indirectly or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be litigated only in the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County District
Court, or the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The Executive waives any right the Executive may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation brought against the Executive by the Company. 

8.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits attached hereto and the other agreements between
the Company and the Executive referenced herein) is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions between the Company and the Executive regarding the subject
matter hereof. No modification of, or amendment to, this Agreement, nor any waiver of either party’s rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. Any subsequent change or changes in the
Executive’s duties, obligations, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 
 8.7
Counterparts. This Agreement may be simultaneously executed in any number of counterparts, and such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

8.8 Captions and Headings. The captions and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. 

8.9 Survivability. The provisions of this Agreement that by their terms call for performance subsequent to termination of
the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, or of this Agreement, shall so survive such termination. For purposes of clarification and not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) Articles
IV, V and VIII, and Section 3.1.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (b) Section 3.2.3 shall survive through the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date.

 8.10 Waiver. No waiver by the Company or the Executive of any breach or
violation of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach or violation. No waiver by the Company or the Executive of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right hereunder. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.1.2 or Section 3.1.4, neither the Company nor the Executive shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. 

8.11 Advice of Counsel. The Executive acknowledges that he has been provided the opportunity to seek, and has
obtained, the advice of counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. 
 8.12 No Strict
Construction. Each of the Executive and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the language used in this Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein is, and shall be deemed to be, the language chosen by the parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either party hereto. 
 8.13
Legal and Consulting Fees. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable, and appropriately documented, fees and expenses of legal counsel, compensation consultants and tax and accounting advisers to the Executive
in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, up to a maximum total reimbursement of $25,000. 
 8.15
Section 409A Compliance. 
 (a) The parties believe that, if amounts are paid at the time or times
indicated in this Agreement, the payments will not be required to be delayed for six months under 409(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, however, if, at the time of the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation
subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until
the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. 
 (b) To the extent that any payment or benefit under or pursuant to this Agreement is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon
the Executive’s “separation from service” to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The determination of whether and when a “separation from service” has occurred shall be made in accordance with
the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 1(h). Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 

(c) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as 

  
 APOG CEO Emp.
Agmt 
 Execution Copy

to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that
this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to comply fully with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided
hereunder. 
 (d) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other
person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

time that cash incentive awards are customarily made by the Committee (i.e., in March or April of 2012); provided that, the Executive continues to be employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on such payment date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment has been terminated by the Company without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason, prior to such payment date, then the Executive shall continue to receive the Cash Bonus on such
payment date.

will not sue or otherwise institute or cause to be instituted against Apogee or any of the Released Parties any claim, lawsuit or other legal or administrative proceeding that is related to any matters released by Executive under Section 1 of
this Release. Executive agrees that if he brings or asserts any such action or lawsuit, he shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Apogee or the Released Parties in dismissing or defending the action

execute all necessary documents to effect such withdrawal and/or dismissal with prejudice. Nothing in this provision, however, shall be interpreted to prevent executive from: (a) bringing a claim or lawsuit to enforce the terms of this Release

right to rescind this Release insofar as it relates to potential claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act by written notice to Apogee within fifteen (15) calendar days following his execution of this Release. Executive has further been
informed and understands that any such rescission must be in writing and hand-delivered to Apogee or, if sent by mail, postmarked within the applicable time period, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Apogee as set forth in
Section 6 hereof.

the greatest extent possible, but if any provision of this Release is held to be void, invalid, illegal or for any other reason unenforceable, the parties agree that the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
