EVA Incentive Compensation Plan

 Exhibit 10.38 
  
 HUTTIG BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC. 
 EVA INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 As Amended Effective January 1, 2004 
  
 1. Purpose.

  
 Huttig Building Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), has adopted an annual incentive compensation program based on the principles of Economic Value Added (“EVA”) throughout the Company. The purpose of the EVA approach is to maximize stockholder value by aligning
management’s interests with those of stockholders and rewarding management for sustainable and continuous improvement in the business being managed. 
  
 The Company has created this EVA Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for certain executive officers of the Company subject to the
limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and designated general managers and regional managers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Participants” and
individually, the “Participant”). The Plan is intended to satisfy the specific requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, as outlined in regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan was originally effective
December 16, 1999 (the “Initial Effective Date”), and was previously amended and restated effective December 3, 2001. This document is an amendment and restatement of the Plan effective January 1, 2004 (the “Amended
Effective Date”), and shall apply to the EVA awards for fiscal year 2003 and to all periods thereafter. With respect to any period prior to the Amended Effective Date, the Plan shall be administered in accordance with the Plan document as in
effect with respect to such period. This Plan is intended to be, and shall be operated as, a successor to Crane Co.’s EVA Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) with respect to the participation of employees of the Company who
were participating in the Prior Plan prior to the Initial Effective Date. 
  
 2.
Administration. 
  
 The Plan will be administered by the
Management Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee’s decisions in the administration of the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties. The Committee shall have the sole
discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, to establish and modify administrative rules for the Plan, to designate the employees eligible to participate in the Plan, to establish and adjust any EVA formula or calculation as provided in Sections
3 and 4, to impose such conditions and restrictions on awards under the Plan as it determines appropriate, and to take such steps in connection with the Plan and awards made under the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee may
employ attorneys, consultants, accountants or other persons and the Committee and the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the 

 advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All usual and reasonable expenses of the Committee shall be paid by
the Company. No Committee member shall receive compensation with respect to his or her services for the Committee except as may be authorized by the Board. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good
faith shall be final and binding upon all employees who have received awards, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good
faith with respect to this Plan or awards made hereunder, and all members of the Committee shall be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation. 
  
 3. Definition of EVA and Description of Formulae. 
  
 EVA is defined as the difference between the return on total capital
invested in the business and the cost of capital, multiplied by total capital employed (“EVA Calculation”). The Plan will be formula driven. The primary EVA formula shall be for the Company as a whole but particular EVA formulas may be
tailored by the Committee to the size and unique characteristics of the business unit or units for which a specific executive is responsible. The key elements of the EVA formula applicable to any executive will be the Cost of Capital (generally the
cost of capital to the Company), the Return on Capital, the Amount of Capital employed in the business unit, the net operating profit of the unit after tax, and the prior year’s EVA. Awards will be calculated on the basis of year-end results.

  
 Formulas may utilize both a percentage of the change in the
EVA of the Company or a business unit from the prior year, whether positive or negative, plus a percentage of the positive EVA, if any, in the current year; the EVA award may be calculated for the entire Company or an entire business unit and an
executive may receive a percentage of a unit’s EVA award. When an executive is responsible for more than one business unit, a formula may be based on a percentage of the aggregate EVA, positive or negative, of the units reporting to the
executive or unit. The Committee has the discretion and authority to develop other EVA based formulae or goals for utilization pursuant to this Plan in future years. In any instance in which an executive participates in a unit EVA award in which a
group of employees participates, the executive’s percentage of the unit’s EVA award will be specified. 
  
 4. Procedure. 
  
 Before the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee will establish and set forth in writing the EVA formula applicable to each Participant for that
year (including the percentage of any business unit EVA award in which he or she may participate). The Committee will retain discretion to revise formulas or a Participant’s percentage participation in any unit EVA award if the Committee deems
it appropriate as circumstances develop during the year; provided, however, in the case of an executive officer who is subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, such revision may only have a negative effect on the amount of such
executive officer’s award for the year. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the year ends, the Committee will review the EVA calculation, calculate the EVA award for each Participant pursuant to the formula established at the beginning
of the year (revised downward if the 
  

 2 

 Committee so determines), and certify the EVA incentive compensation award for each Participant to the Board of
Directors; provided, however, that no EVA award with respect to any executive officer who is subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code may exceed $2,000,000 for any particular year. 
  
 5. Payment of EVA Awards. 
  
 a. Annual Payout if EVA Award is Positive. If a
Participant’s EVA award for a fiscal year is positive, then fifty percent (50%) of such EVA award for a fiscal year shall be paid in cash to the Participant as promptly as practicable after the EVA award is determined. The balance of such
EVA award shall be deferred and paid in accordance with Section 5.b. 
  
 b. Deferred Payouts. The balance of each year’s EVA award not paid out in accordance with Section 5.a. shall be deferred, with interest at an appropriate money market rate, and shall be payable in two
equal installments on (or as soon as practicable after) the date of the annual payout pursuant to Section 5.a. in the next two consecutive years; provided, however, that such deferred amounts shall be subject to reduction in accordance with
Section 5.c. 
  
 c. If EVA Award is
Negative. If a Participant’s EVA award for a fiscal year is negative, the Participant shall be entitled to no annual payout under Section 5.a., and such negative EVA award shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but not below zero,
any deferred but as yet unpaid balances described in Section 5.b., such reduction to be applied to such deferred amounts in order from the earliest to the latest to be paid. 
  
 d. Elimination of Prior Bank Accounts. All Participant negative “bank accounts” established
under the Plan prior to the Amended Effective Date shall be eliminated as of the Amended Effective Date and shall have no effect on the calculations set forth in Sections 5.a., b. and c. above. All Participant positive “bank accounts
established under the Plan prior to the Amended Effective Date shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.b. above, with the first installment payable in 2004 and the second installment payable in 2005, and subject to reduction in accordance
with Section 5.c. above. 
  
 EXAMPLE:
Participant earned an EVA award of $25,000 for fiscal year 2003. In early 2004, as soon as practicable after the 2003 EVA award is determined, Participant will receive an annual payout pursuant to Section 5.a. of $12,500 (50% of $25,000).
The balance of $12,500 will be deferred with interest at an appropriate money market rate with $6,250 (one-half of $12,500), plus interest, being due in early 2005 and early 2006 as of the annual payout date for the prior year award (these amounts
are, however, subject to reduction as a result of any future negative EVA awards, as described below). For fiscal year 2004, Participant earned an EVA award of $30,000. In early 2005, as soon as practicable after the 2004 EVA award is determined,
Participant will receive an annual payout pursuant to Section 5.a. of $15,000 (50% of $30,000) as well as the first 
  

 3 

 installment of the deferred portion of the 2003 EVA award ($6,250 plus interest). The balance of the 2004
EVA award of $15,000 will be deferred with interest at an appropriate money market rate with $7,500 (one-half of $15,000), plus interest, being due in early 2006 and early 2007 as of the annual payout date for the prior year award (these amounts
are, however, subject to reduction as a result of any future negative EVA awards, as described below). For fiscal year 2005, Participant earned an EVA award of negative $15,000. Participant would receive no annual payout with respect to his
or her 2005 award. The negative award would be applied to offset payments deferred from the 2003 and 2004 awards, starting with the second installment of the deferred payout from the 2003 award that would have otherwise been paid in early 2006 (the
first installment of the 2003 award would have already been paid in early 2005) and continuing with each successive deferred payment due until the entire negative $15,000 is used up. 
  
 6. Treatment of Participants’ Deferred Payouts Upon Termination of Employment or Other Events. 
  
 a. General. If a Participant leaves the Company by
reason of termination or resignation or ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan, any deferred payouts not yet paid to the Participant will be treated as follows: 
  

			
	 EVENT

	  	 DISPOSITION OF DEFERRED PAYOUTS

	 •      Terminate/quit
	  	Lose deferred amounts and accrued interest
		
	 •      Removed from plan/demotion
	  	Deferred amounts and accrued interest paid as previously scheduled
		
	 •      Unit sold by Huttig
	  	Receive deferred amounts and accrued interest in cash
		
	 •      Normal retirement at age 65/death/disability
	  	Receive deferred amounts and accrued interest in cash
		
	 •      Unit spun off
	  	No payout; deferred amounts and accrued interest continued with spun off company
		
	 •      Huttig acquired
	  	Receive deferred amounts and accrued interest in cash
		
	 •      Transfer to another business unit
	  	Deferred amounts and accrued interest transfer with executive

  
 b.
Acceleration of Distribution. The Participant’s entire deferred balance will become payable upon normal retirement (age 65), death, or disability, or a change-in-control. (The Committee will retain the discretion to pay the entire
deferred balance upon early retirement.) 
  

 4 

 c. Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, the term
“change in control” means (i) the first purchase of shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than a tender offer or exchange offer by the Company) for all or part of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities
convertible into such Common Stock, (ii) the receipt by the Company of a Schedule 13D or other advice indicating that a person is the “beneficial owner” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of 20% or more of the Company’s Common Stock calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of said Rule 13d-3, (iii) the date of approval by stockholders of the Company of an agreement providing
for any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock of the Company would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than
a merger of the Company in which the holders of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to the merger would have the same proportion of ownership of Common Stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (iv) the date of
the approval by stockholders of the Company of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or (v) the adoption of any plan or
proposal for the liquidation (but not a partial liquidation) or dissolution of the Company or (vi) individuals who, as of the Initial Effective Date, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) generally and as of
the date hereof (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual
or threatened election contest relating to the election of the Directors of Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this Plan, considered as though such person
were a member of the Incumbent Board. 
  
 d.
Tax Gross-Up. If it is determined that any payment under this Plan by the Company to a Participant by reason of a change-in-control is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall make additional cash
payments to the Participant such that after payment of all taxes including any excise tax imposed on such payments, the Participant will retain an amount equal to the excise tax on all the payments. 
  
 7. Plan Amendment and Termination. 
  
 The Board of Directors may modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time.

 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 INTRODUCTION 
  
 1.1. Adoption and Purpose of the Plan. Upon the recommendation of the Organization and
Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors, the Company has adopted the Huttig Building Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2002. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain competent management and
other highly compensated employees by offering Eligible Employees flexible compensation opportunities, including: 
  

	 	•	 	allowing Participants to defer current pretax income and earn a tax-deferred rate of return on their deferred compensation in order to save for retirement and for shorter periods of
time for purposes other than retirement; and 

  

	 	•	 	replacing matching contributions from the Company that are not available under limitations on Participants’ deferrals under Huttig’s 401(k) Plan. 

 
 The Plan shall not constitute a “qualified plan” subject to the limitations of
Section 401(a) of the Code, nor shall it constitute a “funded plan,” for purposes of such requirements. The Plan shall be exempt from the participation and vesting requirements of Part 2 of Title I of ERISA, the funding requirements
of Part 3 of Title I of ERISA, and the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA by reason of the exclusions afforded plans which are unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for
a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

 ARTICLE III 

 
 PARTICIPATION AND VESTING 
  
 3.1 Eligibility and Participation. An Eligible Employee who properly completes and
files with the Committee a Deferral Election pursuant to which a portion of his Compensation is deferred under the Plan shall become a Participant. A Participant shall remain a Participant with respect to his existing Account until his entire
Account under the Plan is extinguished, through distribution or otherwise; provided, however, that a Participant’s Deferral Election shall be effective for only the Plan Year for which it was filed and shall expire on the last day of such Plan
Year for which the Participant is not an Eligible Employee. 
  
 3.2 Ceasing to
be an Eligible Employee. Status as an Eligible Employee will be re-determined from time to time, at least annually. If an Eligible Employee desires to participate during the next succeeding Plan Year, he must file a new Deferral Election for
such Plan Year by the Deferral Election Deadline. If an individual ceases for any reason to be an Eligible Employee, through termination of employment or otherwise, his Deferral Election shall forthwith terminate, and he shall not again become
eligible to make a Deferral Election until he again becomes an Eligible Employee. 
  
 3.3 Vesting. A Participant shall be 100% vested at all times in his Account balances representing Deferred Compensation and earnings, interest and losses thereon. A Participant shall become vested in his Account balances representing
Company matching contributions that may be credited to a Participant’s account under Section 4.4 hereof in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

				
	 Years of Service

	  	Vested Interest

	 
	 Less than 1 year
	  	None	 
	 1 year but fewer than 2
	  	20	%
	 2 years but fewer than 3
	  	40	%
	 3 years but fewer than 4
	  	60	%
	 4 years but fewer than 5
	  	80	%
	 5 years or more
	  	100	%

  

 4 

 Years of service for vesting purposes hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Huttig
401(k) Plan. However, a Participant will become 100% vested, regardless of years of service, if he suffers a Permanent Disability, reaches age 65, or dies while actively employed. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS, CREDITING OF ACCOUNTS, COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

4.1 Deferral Elections. Each Eligible Employee shall be provided an opportunity to make a Deferral Election with respect to such portion of his Compensation as
the Committee designates by Rule. The Committee may require or permit separate Deferral Elections to be made with respect to different elements of Compensation, and may provide that Deferral Elections shall be subject to minimum and maximum
limitations on the amount deferred; provided, however, that a Participant may not defer more than fifty percent (50%) of his salary, commission or bonus for any Play Year. Deferral Elections for a Plan Year shall be filed with the Committee no
earlier than the date permitted by the Committee, and no later than the Deferral Election Deadline. Deferral Elections for a Plan Year shall become irrevocable at such time as the Committee may designate by Rule. A Participant may elect to terminate
his Deferral Election and discontinue all deferrals for the remainder of the Play Year by submitting such instruction in writing to the Committee and such instruction shall take effect in accordance with Rules established by the Committee. Unless
the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant’s Deferral Election shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the end of the Plan Year for which it was filed, (iii) his termination of employment, or
(iii) the date on which the Participant begins to receive payments under the Company’s long-term disability plan then in effect. The Committee shall determine the form and manner of filing the Deferral Election and any instruction to
terminate the same, which shall be by such means as the Committee shall require or permit, including, but not limited to traditional writing or electronic means. 
  
 4.2 Participant Accounts. Pursuant to each Participant’s Deferral Election, there shall be established a Retirement Account and
up to four Pre-retirement Accounts, as designated by the Participant, to which there shall be credited any Deferred Compensation. The amounts deferred in accordance with the Participant’s Deferral Election shall be credited to the
Participant’s Account(s) on the regular compensation payment dates that such amounts would otherwise have been paid as current cash compensation had there been no deferral. Subject to limitations applicable to Account balances invested in
Common Stock as may be determined by the Committee, Participants may be able to rebalance their accumulated Account balances among the Funds available for deferral of Compensation under the Plan. Establishment and maintenance of Accounts hereunder
shall not be construed as giving any person any interest in assets of the Company, or a right to payment other than as provided hereunder. An Account shall be maintained until all amounts credited to such Account have been withdrawn, distributed,
forfeited, or otherwise extinguished in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Plan. 
  

 5 

 4.3 Hypothetical Investments; Rates of Return. Each Participant’s Account shall be credited with a number of
hypothetical shares of one or more Funds made available by the Committee and elected by the Participant in his Deferral Election with regard to his Deferred Compensation. The number of such hypothetical shares shall be determined by dividing the
cash amount directed to each Fund by the net asset value of such Fund. Earnings and/or losses on Account balances shall be determined as though such balances had actually been invested in the Funds selected by the Participant, on the basis of actual
earnings or losses of those Funds, whether or not the Company invests any assets in any actual investment funds. The Committee may approve, as a hypothetical investment option for a Participant’s Deferred Compensation, shares of Common Stock,
and credits for all Company matching contributions shall be deemed to be invested, in shares of Common Stock. The number of such shares shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation and/or the
Company’s matching contribution invested or credited in Common Stock by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date such Deferred Compensation or matching contributions are credited to his Account. 
  
 4.4 Company Contributions. The Company shall credit each Participant’s Retirement
Account with a matching contribution equal to (a) 50% of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation (regardless of whether such Deferred Compensation is credited to his Retirement Account or to his Pre-retirement Account), up to a maximum of
3% of such Participant’s total Compensation, less (b) the Matching Contributions (as such term is defined in the Huttig 401(k) Plan) credited to the Participant under the Huttig 401(k) Plan. Account balances representing Company matching
contributions credited under the Plan may not be transferred into any other Funds available under the Plan, except that a Qualified Participant (as such term is defined in the Huttig 401(k) Plan) shall be permitted to reallocate twenty-five percent
(25%) of his Account balance representing Company matching contributions, to the extent such percentage exceeds the amount transferred or distributed pursuant to a prior election under this Section, within ninety (90) days after the last
day of each Plan Year during the Participant’s Qualified Election Period (as such term is defined in the Huttig 401(k) Plan). Within ninety (90) days after the close of the last Plan Year in the Participant’s Qualified Election
Period, fifty percent (50%) shall be substituted for the twenty-five percent (25%) figure in the preceding sentence. The Participant’s direction shall be provided to the Committee in writing and shall be effective no later than
one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the close of the Plan Year to which the direction applies. The amount transferred pursuant to a Qualified Participant’s election shall be invested in accordance with the Participant’s election
no later than ninety (90) days after the last day of the period during which the election can be made. 
  
 4.5. Excess Deferrals Under Huttig 401(k) Plan. The Committee, at its discretion, may allow for the deferral under the Plan of any excess of the amount of a Participant’s elected deferral under the Huttig
401(k) Plan over the maximum actual deferral permitted thereunder.

 ARTICLE V 
  
 DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 
  
 5.1 Time and Form of Distribution. As specified on his Deferral Election, a Participant shall elect the timing and form of distribution of his Account, subject to
such limitations and exceptions as the Committee may, by Rule, require or permit. The Committee may, by Rule, change the timing and forms of payment available hereunder. 
  
 5.2 Changes in Distribution Options. A Participant may change the previously elected form of distribution only upon such terms and
conditions as the Committee may establish by Rule. 
  
 5.3 Early
Distributions. The Committee, in its sole discretion and upon application of a Participant and a showing of “good cause” (as defined by Rule adopted by the Committee), may direct premature distribution of part or all of a
Participant’s vested Account balances either during employment or after employment terminates, on such basis and with such penalties as the Committee may require. 
  
 5.4 Committee Discretion to Distribute. The Committee may establish Rules requiring distribution of all or any part of a
Participant’s Account to be made earlier or later than the time elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3. 
  
 5.5 Form of Payment. All benefits under the Plan shall be paid by negotiable check or other cash equivalent from the trust (if any) or other general funds of the
Company, or, if the Committee so designates, in the form of a fully paid insurance or annuity contract or, subject to the limitations of Section 11.1. in shares of Common Stock, valued at their Fair Market Value at the time of payment.

  
 5.6. Death of a Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant
prior to distribution of all amounts otherwise payable to the Participant hereunder, the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be entitled to distribution of all vested amounts credited to the Participant’s Account(s), in such
form and at such time(s) as the Committee may designate by Rule. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive payment of his benefits under the Plan in the event of his death, and may revoke or change such designation, in
accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall establish. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, a Participant may revoke his designation of Beneficiary (without the consent of any Beneficiary) and make a new designation of Beneficiary by
filing a new form with the Committee. A properly completed and executed change in a designation of Beneficiary, unless the Committee provides to the contrary, shall take effect immediately upon being filed with the Committee during the
Participant’s lifetime. If upon a Participant’s death no valid designation of Beneficiary is on file with the Committee, or if a Beneficiary dies before payments are completed and there are no living contingent or successive Beneficiaries,
then, unless the Committee establishes a different Rule, any remaining payments under the Plan shall be made (1) to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, or (2) if there is no surviving spouse, then to the Participant’s
estate. 
  
 5.7 Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct
applicable taxes (including, but not limited to taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act) from amounts deferred pursuant to a Participant’s Deferral Election and from any amounts payable hereunder to a Participant or Beneficiary and
from amounts otherwise subject to any tax, and to withhold an appropriate amount of cash or a number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of taxes or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the
Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of cash, shares of Common Stock, or other property theretofore owned by the Participant or
Beneficiary. 
  

 7 

 5.8 Facility of Payment. In the event any distribution is payable under the Plan to a minor or other individual
who is legally, physically or mentally incompetent to receive such payment, the Committee in its sole discretion shall pay such benefits to one or more of the following persons: (a) directly to such minor or other person; (b) to the legal
guardian or conservator of such minor or other person; (c) to the spouse, parent, brother, sister, child or other relative of such minor or other person for the use of such minor or other person; or (d) to such other person as the
Committee deems appropriate. The Committee shall not be required to see to the application of any distribution so made to any of such persons, but the receipt therefore shall be a full discharge of the liability of the Plan, the Committee, the
Company, and the trustee (if any) to such minor or other person. 
  
 5.9 Waiver
and Release. The Committee may condition the payment of some or all benefits hereunder on the Participant’s entering into a binding release and waiver in such form as the Committee shall permit. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 PAYMENT LIMITATIONS 
  
 6.1 Assignment. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit by Rule, no Participant or Beneficiary of a Participant shall have any right to assign, pledge,
hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien on any amounts payable hereunder. No amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to assignment or transfer or otherwise be alienable, either by voluntary or involuntary act, or by operation of law,
or subject to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration or other seizure under any legal, equitable or other process, or be liable in any way for the debts or defaults of Participants and their Beneficiaries. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 FUNDING AND EXPENSES 
  
 7.1 Funding. Benefits under the Plan shall be funded solely by the Company and its Affiliates. Benefits hereunder shall constitute an unfunded general obligation
of the Company as employer of the Participant. In the event a Participant has been employed by more than one employer (i.e., the Company and one of its subsidiaries or successors), benefits hereunder shall constitute an unfunded general obligation
of the Participant’s most recent employer. All payments under the Plan shall be deemed made by the Company from general assets available to all unsecured creditors of the Company in the event of its insolvency. Each Participant has merely the
status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, but need not, create for purposes of the Plan a trust of the type commonly referred to as a “rabbi” trust, which may, but need not, be
in substantial conformity to 
  

 8 

 the terms of the model trust published by the Internal Revenue Service in Rev. Proc. 92-64 or any successor thereto. The
Company may transfer assets to the trustee of such trust to hold and to make distributions under the Plan on behalf of the Company. The assets so held in trust shall remain the general assets of the Company, which is the grantor under the trust. The
rights of Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan and the trust shall be exclusively unsecured contractual rights. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right, title or interest whatsoever in the trust. In its discretion, the
Company may purchase life insurance insuring the lives of the Participants and may require the Participants to provide information necessary to obtain such life insurance. 
  
 7.2 Creditor Status. A Participant and his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be general creditors of the Company with respect to the
payment of any benefit under the Plan, unless such benefits are provided under a contract of insurance or an annuity contract that has been delivered to the Participant, in which case the Participant and his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall look
to the insurance carrier or annuity provider for payment, and not to the Company or any Affiliate. The Company’s or Affiliate’s obligation for such benefit shall be discharged by the purchase and delivery of such annuity or insurance
contract. 
  

	7.3	Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 

  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 ADMINISTRATION 
  
 8.1 Committee. Except for rights and powers expressly reserved to the Board or the Company, the Plan will be administered by the Committee. Members of the Committee may participate in the Plan, but no member of
the Committee shall be entitled to make decisions that relate solely to his own participation. 
  

	8.2	Committee Powers. The Committee shall have the power and authority in its sole and absolute discretion: 

  

	 	(a)	to make and from time to time amend Rules by which the Plan will be implemented and administered from time to time, which Rules shall be binding on the Company and all Participants
and their Beneficiaries, even though they may apply retroactively to Participants whose employment has terminated; 

  

	 	(b)	to construe and interpret the Plan, determine the application of the Plan to situations where such application is unclear or disputable, to resolve all questions arising under the
Plan (including questions of fact) and make equitable adjustments for any mistakes or errors made in the administration of the Plan; provided that individual exceptions to Rules shall not be permitted; 

  

	 	(c)	to determine all questions arising in the administration of the Plan, including the power to determine the status of individuals as Eligible Employees, the rights of Participants
and their Beneficiaries and the amount of their respective benefits and such determination, interpretation or other action shall be final and binding for all purposes and upon all persons; 

  

 9 

	 	(d)	to adopt, amend and rescind such rules (including Rules), regulations and forms as it may deem necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan consistent with its
purposes, which rules may permit case-by-case determinations; 

  

	 	(e)	to enforce and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and the rules, regulations and forms it adopts; to appoint a plan administrator and to delegate to the plan
administrator such administrative duties as the Committee shall deem appropriate; 

  

	 	(f)	to take such action and establish such procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to coordinate deferrals and benefits under this Plan and any other plan;

  

	 	(g)	to select, monitor and prospectively change the investment funds and rates of return to be credited under the Plan; 

  

	 	(h)	to take such action and establish such procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to implement Participant elections and designations of investment funds and rates of return,
and to coordinate the Company’s actions, if any, taken to reduce or eliminate the Company’s exposure to market fluctuations; 

  

	 	(i)	to direct the appropriate person to make payments from the Plan; 

  

	 	(j)	to employ such counsel, auditors, actuaries, or other specialists (who may be counsel, auditors, actuaries or other specialists for the Company) and to engage such clerical or other
services to the extent such services are not provided by the Company; 

  

	 	(k)	to maintain records concerning the Plan sufficient to prepare reports, returns and other information required by the Plan or by law, and to communicate the terms of the Plan and any
material amendments thereto to the Eligible Employees and Participants; 

  

	 	(l)	to delegate such of its powers and authorities (including the power and authority to delegate) to such person or persons, with his, her, its or their consent, as the Committee may
appoint; and 

  

	 	(m)	to do all other things the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the advantageous administration of the Plan and to make the Plan fully effective in accordance with its terms
and intent. 

  
 8.3 Claims for Benefits. In the event that a
Participant or Beneficiary claims to be eligible for benefits, or claims any rights hereunder (hereinafter a “Claimant”), he must complete and submit a written request for such benefit with the Committee setting forth his claim. The
request must be made within sixty (60) days of the date of vesting and must be addressed to the Committee, Huttig Building Products, Inc. at the Company’s then principal place of business. 
  
 8.4 Claim Decision. Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the Claimant
that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days for reasonable cause. If the claim
is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall adopt a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: 
  

	 	(a)	the specific reason or reasons for such denial; 

  

 10 

	 	(b)	the specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which such denial is based; 

  

	 	(c)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary;

  

	 	(d)	appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and 

  

	 	(e)	the time limits for requesting a review under Section 8.5 and for review under Section 8.6 hereof. 

  
 8.5 Request for Review. Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant
of the written opinion described above, the Claimant may request in writing that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company review the determination of the Committee. Such request must be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Huttig Building
Products, Inc. at the Company’s then principal place of business. The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Chief
Executive Officer. If the Claimant does not request a review of the Committee’s determination by the Chief Executive Officer within such sixty (60) day period, he shall be barred and estopped from challenging the Committee’s
determination. 
  
 8.6 Review of Decision. Within sixty (60) days
after the Chief Executive Officer’s receipt of a request for review, he will review the Committee’s determination. After considering all materials presented by the Claimant, the Chief Executive Officer will render a written opinion,
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances
require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Chief Executive Officer will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request
for review. 
  
 8.7. Standard of Review. The Committee and the Chief
Executive Officer shall possess and exercise discretionary authority to make determinations as to a Participant’s eligibility for benefits and to construe the terms of the Plan. The determination of the Chief Executive Officer shall be final
and non-reviewable unless found to be arbitrary and capricious by a court of competent review. Such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the Claimant. 
  
 8.8 Receipt and Release of Necessary Information. In implementing the terms of the Plan, the Committee may, without the consent of or
notice to any person, release to or obtain from any other organization or person any information, with respect to any person, which the Committee deems to be necessary for such purposes. Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming benefits under the
Plan shall furnish to the Committee such information as may be necessary to determine eligibility for and amount of benefit, as a condition of claiming and receiving such benefit. 
  

 11 

 8.9 Overpayment and Underpayment of Benefits. The Committee may adopt, in its sole discretion, whatever rules,
procedures and accounting practices are appropriate in providing for the collection of any overpayment of benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary receives an underpayment of benefits, the Committee shall direct that immediate payment be made to
make up for the underpayment. If an overpayment is made to a Participant or Beneficiary, for whatever reason, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, withhold payment of any further benefits under the Plan until the overpayment has been collected
or may require repayment of benefits paid under the Plan without regard to further benefits to which the Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled. 
  
 8.10 Account Statements. In accordance with Rules established by the Committee, each Participant shall receive, at least quarterly, statements with respect to his
Account(s). 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
  
 OTHER BENEFIT PLANS OF THE COMPANY 
  
 9.1 Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent a Participant prior to
his death, or his Beneficiary after his death, from receiving, in addition to any payments provided for under the Plan, any payments provided for under any other plan or benefit program of the Company, or which would otherwise be payable or
distributable to the Participant or Beneficiary under any plan or policy of the Company or otherwise. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as preventing the Company or any Affiliate from establishing any other or different plans providing for
current or deferred compensation for employees. Benefits provided under the Plan shall not constitute earnings or compensation for purposes of determining contributions or benefits under any other plan of the Company, unless specifically provided
otherwise in such plan. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
  
 10.1 Amendment and Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 10.1, the Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and in its sole discretion, by written resolution. Any such amendment or termination shall be binding on the Company and all Participants and their Beneficiaries, even
though it may be retroactive and applicable to Participants whose employment by the Company has terminated. The Committee may amend any Rule at any time. However, no amendment or termination of the Plan and no amendment of a Rule shall adversely
affect the right of a Participant to payment of a benefit to which the Participant would be entitled (then or thereafter) under the terms of the Plan if the Participant’s employment terminated immediately before the adoption of such amendment
or termination of the Plan or Rule, unless such amendment or termination of the Plan or amendment of the Rule, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, is required to comply with applicable law or to preserve the tax treatment of benefits under
the Plan for the Company or for the Participant, or is consented to by the affected Participant. Except for amendments necessary to comply with 
  

 12 

 applicable law, no amendment of the Plan may be made without the approval of the Board if such amendment either
(a) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or (b) is made after the first event constituting a part of a change in control of the Company. 
  
 10.2 Continuation. The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but nevertheless assumes no contractual obligation beyond
the promise to pay the benefits described in this Plan to its Employees. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 
  
 11.1 Shares Available for Issuance. Any shares of Common Stock that may be distributed
to Participants in accordance with Article V hereof shall be limited to available shares that may be purchased in the open market or in private transactions or held as treasury shares and may not be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

  
 11.2 Adjustments in Event of Changes in Capitalization. In the event of
any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock split, share dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange or reclassification of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off,
liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends, the number or kind of hypothetical shares or share equivalents that may be credited under the Plan shall be automatically
adjusted so that the proportionate interest of the Participants shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 12.1 No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Company or any Affiliate and an
employee, or as a right of any person to be continued in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate, or as a limitation of the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge any of its employees, with or without cause. 
  
 12.2 Indemnification. The Company hereby indemnifies each member of the Committee and
each employee who is delegated responsibilities under the Plan against any and all liabilities and expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending or completed legal
action or judicial or administrative proceeding to which they may be a party, or may be threatened to be made a party, by reason of membership on such Committee or due to a delegation of responsibilities, except with regard to any matters as to
which they shall be adjudged in such action or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith. 
  

 13 

 12.3 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding on any successor, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 
  
 12.4 No Fiduciary Relationship. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or
be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant or any other person. 
  
 12.5 Risk of Loss. Each Participant agrees to assume all risk in connection with the value of his Accounts under the Plan. 
  
 12.6 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with
the laws of the State of Missouri (without regard to the principles of conflicts of law which might otherwise apply) to the extent not pre-empted by ERISA.
